Hello!!!

Welcome to my Homepage: www.ulrich-rieth.de!

NEW: Images of the aurora over Germany in 2011 have been added.

This page gives a summary of facts concerning the solar activity and the effects resulting from an active sun.
The most spectacular effect is the aurora borealis, a sometimes bright and multicolored lightshow in the nightsky.
Many parts of this homepage still have to be translated, but some are already done.
I hope to be ready with the translations soon. So come back again, if the page you wanted to see was not yet available in English.

If you just want to get an overview of the current solar activity visit one of the following pages:

Today's Space Weather presented by SWPC
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
Solar Terrestrial Activity Report

To get an impresion of the aurora, I recommend my pictures of the auroral displays over Germany in the years 2000 to 2006.

The following tables show the current solar and geomagnetic activity:

solar activity: Röntgenaktivität
geomagnetic activity: Geomagnetischer Status

Have fun!
